While I understand his want I can't agree with how he went about it.

He had to know he wouldn't be granted his request, and he had to know it wouldn't work to attack in the courtroom. It wasn't a situation where Larry was suddenly exonerated and the dad lost control.

As such I have to assume the entire thing was an act, and thus I can't really see it as anything more than sad.

I know it's an emotional response, but it's a common issue that should b stopped. Its got to be the dumbest reaction possible. My daughter's were victimized and I didnt stop it, so let me get sent to prison for 20 years so it can happen more and I won't be able to do anything at all. Its upsetting to see people letting their emotions take precedence over parenting.

Give him one minute for each daughter! The damage done would take days to heal,". The doctor's damage will take years to heal! He got off easy. The father deserved to be let off.

I would give him 5 minutes and much more.

Couldn't help but wonder if he wasn't acting for future attention. Get on big brother or something.

Can't blame that Father at all. After listening to so much horrendous testimony, and then sitting directly across from the scum who abused three (!) of your daughters , I can only imagine the intense rage he was feeling ... And he did apologize to the court and all present, after things settled down.

But he needn't worry, I suspect all of Nassar's openings will be well used by inmates - especially once the word gets out. Chances are good - he may be killed, and not humanely.

I can understand his emotional pain and the need to destroy the cause of that pain. His statement at the press conference made it clear he understood that he had lost control and it was the wrong thing to do.

A parent is supposed to protect their children and when they place their trust in another and it is betrayed to that extent the guilt has to be unbearable. I'm glad he was not punished more than just a few hours in a holding cell.

I can sympathize and empathize with their feeling, anger, and grief, but violence, vengeance and revenge is never an answer or a solution. (IMHO)

It is what the legal process is for and to prevent.
